Here we are in Ohio, a locale where, on the one hand, we are in the minority of states without marriage equality but, on the other side of the rainbow spectrum, we just hosted the Gay Games and now sport the queerest city in the United States (Dayton?!?). How do we navigate towards equality while still retaining a sense of who we are as a community?

Well, if you’re Elyzabeth Holford, executive director of Equality Ohio, you move forward deftly with humor, a ton of perspective and a deep well of incredible staff and volunteers. Elyzabeth rejoins us this week to talk about everything from Leelah Alcorn to the role of gay bars to what we can all do to make a difference (hint: educate yourself!).

All this and an LGBT news wrap-up that has Ken all kinds of fired up!
